### Etymology 1

From Middle High German veile, from Old High German feili (“for sale”), from Proto-West Germanic *failī. Possibly merged with a descendant of Proto-Germanic *falaz, but this is uncertain. Old High German fali is only attested once in a text that uses ai for ei, thus quite plausibly a mere scribal error (regarding also that short a should be umlauted to e).
Cognate with Dutch veil. From *falaz stems Old Norse falr (whence Norwegian Nynorsk fal, Swedish fal). The latter is related with Old Church Slavonic плѣнъ (plěnŭ, “booty”), Ancient Greek πωλέω (pōléō, “sell”).

#### Adjective

feil (strong nominative masculine singular feiler, not comparable)
* (literary, derogatory) venal, capable of being bribed or prostituted
    Synonyms: käuflich, bestechlich
    feile Knechte ― venal minions
    feile Dirnen ― venal harlots
* (literary, dated) for sale, vendible, purchasable (now at most predicatively with sein, stehen, and in the compounds below)
    Synonyms: käuflich, verkäuflich, zu (ver)kaufen
